The two of us looked at the message that Lukas sent in the group message.

Lukas: Everybody up?

We hesitated to answer. Looked at each other then our phones. I waited for Jesse to answer.

Jesse: Yeah I'm up.

    I waited a few minutes to respond.

Me: Yup. Wish I slept in but whatcha gonna do right?

Lukas: Yeah.

Axel: OLIVIA ARE YOU UP YET????

Me: I don't think that will work Axel.

Olivia: Hi Guys. Wanna do stuff today after school?

Jesse: Okay. What do you think we should do?

Me: I've always been curious about the snow biomes.

Lukas: That's too far for today Petra.

Jesse: how about a good old classic walk in the park?

    I looked up at her and nodded.

Me: Sounds good.

Lukas: sure.

Axel: Okay.

Olivia: See you there after school!

    We put our phones away and leapt out of bed. "I should wear the torn shirt then." I said to Jesse. "I agree but you look so good in this one." She said. I looked at it. "I'll be back for it later Okay?" I said. She nodded and we both got dressed in separate rooms. I took the shirt off and put my other one from yesterday on. I noticed my gauze was full and was starting to leak out. I took it off and called to Jesse. "Can you wrap my arm in fresh gauze please?" Seconds later she was in the same room and rolled the sleeve up to wrap my wound.  I winced as the material made contact with my open gash.  "I'm sorry." She said looking at me.
    She finished wrapping my arm and tied my rainbow bandana on my head for me. She had to get on her tiptoes to do so. I smiled when she leaned back to step away. She then adjusted it to be perfectly centered. "What did I do to deserve a friend like you Jesse?" I asked. "I dunno." She said.  We left her home five minutes apart from each other. I felt so lucky to have Jesse as a friend.
